Apple’s decision to add the M1 chip to the new iPad Pros has made it more complicated than ever to choose between the 11 and 12-inch models.
Usually, this would be an easy decision. Buy the iPad Pro 12.9 inch in space grey with 512GB storage.
But now that the iPad Pro comes with the M1 chip, there’s a lot more to consider.
I am a maximalist. I always get the pro version of anything from Apple.
Before Apple moved the iPad Pro to the M1 chip, the 12.9-inch model would be the obvious choice if you were looking to replace your laptop and go iPad-only.
Before the M1, even the most pro iPad Pro with the most powerful A14 chip was still just an iPad.
Before the M1, it didn’t really matter what you chose because every iPad was basically equally capable.
iPads are great tablets, but they are not always great for pro workflows involving pro apps.
